Oh I can't take another heartache
Though you say your my friend, I'm at my wits end
You say your is bonified, but that don't coinside
With the things that you do
When I ask you to be nice, you say
You gotta be, cruel to be kind, in the right measure
Cruel to be kind, it's a very good sign
Cruel to be kind, means that i love you baby (baby)
(You gotta be cruel) You gotta be cruel to be kind
Well I do my best to understand dear
But you still mystify and I want to know why
I pick myself up off the ground, to have you knock me back down
Again and again
When I ask you to explain, you say
Oh
Cruel to be kind - In the right measure
Cruel to be kind - Well it's a very, very, very good sign
Cruel to be kind - Means that i love you baby (baby)
(You gotta be cruel) Gotta be cruel to be kind
